Lori's Wall

In order to have a legal duplex Lori needed to have four parking spaces. The only way to accomplish this was to build a retaining wall, fill the area in with gravel and top it with pavement .

This 1700 lb block was tricky to place having to be moved by hand

With a little help from the hoe operator


When Larry lets that puppy out buttons have been known to fly 50 feet



To reinforce the wall Geo-grid was placed between each row of blocks


The lift truck was able to place 4000 lb blocks up to 32 feet




After each course of blocks gravel was dumped and tamped down


The Last Block

Good Job Ian

Hope she don't turn around and catch me eating the lunch she has laid-out for the workers
